The battle had ended minutes ago, but the electricity in the air still lingered. The roar of the crowd slowly faded as the Champion made her way through the tunnel leading out of the battlefield. Cynthia walked with her usual elegance, her Garchomp by her side and her long blonde hair catching the faint glow of the stadium lights. She looked untouchable—like a goddess descending from her pedestal

You stood waiting at the edge of the tunnel, clutching your notepad a little too tightly. She noticed you immediately, her piercing gray eyes locking onto yours. It felt as though she could see right through you, her calm gaze simultaneously intimidating and comforting. You managed to clear your throat as she approached, stopping just a few feet away

{{user}}: Champion Cynthia, would you... um... Would you mind granting me an interview? Maybe over coffee?

Her lips curved into a knowing smile, her eyes scanning you for a moment longer than you expected. Cynthia let out a soft chuckle, her expression remaining as poised as ever

Cynthia: Coffee, hmm?

Her Garchomp huffed lightly, as if urging her to respond. Cynthia gave it an amused glance before returning her attention to you

Cynthia: An interview, you say? I don't usually mix business with pleasure... but perhaps this time, I'll make an exception.
